Edward's plan failed, but his goal was achieved.

According to the initial assumption of this night watchman, although Brandon, the Prince of East Sakland, had the name of the Crown Prince, he did not have the crown prince-the reason is very simple, his popularity in the empire is really bad, except for the extreme Apart from the few nobles and the Duke of Byrne who were willing to support him, there were very few nobles who were willing to be loyal to him.

Therefore, he will take the opportunity of the return of the Blood Skeleton Corps to crown Brandon with an iron crown and a sword of power, so that Brandon will become "empire emperor" in one step, and then slowly accumulate his prestige through war.

This wasn't what Brandon wanted, but he also knew how rare this opportunity that his night watchman had won.

So he changed his way and retired to advance-on the grounds of "save the royal capital, officially crowned", he called for the soldiers to "voluntarily" join themselves, turning their reluctant "recommendation" into a battle. Spontaneous alliance of "fighting for common interests".

The incident happened suddenly, but Brandon was not a pure whimsy, but a decision made after careful consideration.

There are eight thousand remnants in the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain, thirty thousand in the Eastern Sakran Army, six thousand in the Boye Cavalry Army, and three thousand in the Bian Cavalry Army ... these people come from all kinds of sources, with different interests and appeals, but in general they are almost the same, that is Entering Golovin.

So Brandon let this nearly 50,000 troops spontaneously gather under his command, and was still a fully equipped, with a top phalanx infantry and light and heavy mobile forces, good logistics support, high combat quality, a huge army, became His "basic plate".

At the same time, the 20,000-Poi army has already departed from the Great Green Sea led by the Great Poi and is entering the territory of East Sacrament;

The lords of East Saklan who surrendered to the imperial crown prince completely are also gathering troops in accordance with the order of the Sky Dome. Fifty thousand recruits are rushing to the nearest barracks;

In the south, the 80,000 Byrne Legion, which has already completed the assembly, is following the orders of the Round Table Parliament to support the capital of Golovin;

At the same time, due to the threat of Byrne, the Principality of Arles began to gather troops to advance into the Ellerman Mountains as their Duke promised at the meeting of the Knights of the Royal Swords; the mountain people in this hilly area began to respond to the call One after another.

East Sackland, Elleman, Boye, Byrne, Arles ... The entire empire was marching in accordance with the arrangement of Connold during his lifetime and following the agreed route.

Some of these troops have received news, while others have no knowledge of what is happening in the Imperial City and Jiejie Mountain; they are being mobilized one after another only by Connor ’s order.

This huge army of tens of thousands, plus the materials collected by the imperial capital, enough to squander the 200,000 army, and the complete logistics line from West Saklan all the way north to Eboden, that is, Connor The biggest "legacy" left by Germany.

What Brandon has to do now is to rely on the army of 50,000 people to advance all the way to the south. While fighting with the Azores, he continues to use the "empire prince", "save the emperor" and "for health." In the name of "Nord Emperor Revenge", he successively accepted these heritages under his own leadership, marched towards the imperial capital, and triumphed in the Sky Dome.

The righteous step into the palace of his own, let those who look down upon him bow down to the title-this is what Brandon wants.

………………………

"Uh ... wait, don't worry, come one by one."

In the Byrne camp in the ruins of the Boundary Mountain, Loren Turin, who was sitting at the round table, looked at the surrounding gang of fellows and raised his hands with a smile on his face to show his direction.

Lusien, Dalton, Isaac, Charlotte, and Ain, five people with different expressions surrounded him in the center.

"I know you have a lot to ask. I also know that you may have been waiting for a long time. I also know that you have always been worried about my safety, so ..."

"Who is worried about your safety?"

Before he finished, Charlotte sniffed and said, "I'm worried about Ain and the soldiers you took to Blood Skull Valley!"

"Duke Bairn, actually made such a crazy move when there are obviously better choices. I don't know what you think ?! Do you really understand what you are fighting against? My own life ... "

"She's really worried about you."

The winking little wizard whispered a word, and the countenance of the blood-stained Countess of Red Blood Fort hummed and turned her head slightly, her shoulders slightly shaking.

The dark-haired wizard smiled awkwardly.

Unlike Ain, who is "sensible", the more powerful Charlotte does not express her emotions so simply and clearly. She longs to control everything, but lacks this power, so she can only desperately suppress her emotions and impulses; Especially when faced with a situation where she can't control it at all, this anxiety will become more apparent in her.

"Roughly, I have learned from Lucien."

The gray pupil who glanced behind him, Dalton Kander put his hands up and turned his gaze to Loren: "So ... what is the situation now?"

This is actually two problems.

The Azores have launched a full-scale invasion, and the soldiers pointed directly at the capital of Golovin; but as the northern Azores were wiped out, the King of Eagles fell in the Valley of Blood, and the Azores attacked the empire on three sides. The plan is completely bankrupt.

Not only that, because the Boundary Mountain fell, but the main legion did not suffer too much casualties because of the timely evacuation; the Principalities of the Empire Principality, Middle East, Sakran, Poy, Arles, and Elleman are still strong It is well preserved enough to give a military advantage to any part of the Azores invaders.

In other words, unless the imperial capital of Golovin immediately fell, or the deep forest was defeated, Lotel was completely occupied by the Azores, opening up the connection between Eboden and West Sakland, the two Azores The army echoed left and right; otherwise, the Azore elves fighting each other, only each was surrounded and wiped out.

Of course, the spirits of the elves are still very strong, and it cannot be completely denied that there is still the possibility of follow-up reinforcements, but at least the advantage of the battle situation is slowly tilting towards the empire; the Azores elves without foundation in this land, unless Large-scale colonization would simply not be able to gain a foothold.

And the empire, which has experienced nearly half a year of war, has finally gradually exerted the strength she really deserves.

But the problem is that the Empire ... or the enemy of Loren Turin, is not just the Azores.

"Simply put, our enemies are still Azores, but ... not just them," Black Cross "Serior ... he is back."

The dark-haired wizard smiled bitterly.

The voice fell, and everyone's expressions were startled at the same time.

In the early morning when the snow was flying a few years ago, Loren had fully confessed to the crowd about the "Black Cross" Serel and the threats he brought to him, and he knew how much the threat of this guy was.

In a word, "the black hand behind the destruction of the dragon kingdom" and "killing the black duke, sealing the culprit of the Valkyrie" are enough to explain everything.

The moment he opened the second valve, he had discovered the power of Selior's void ... Although it was so weak, it was so weak that he could not have any awareness before, but this time he did find it.

Loren is also quite sure that the other party also knows this, and may even have found it intentionally; in the eyes of the arrogant and arrogant Serior, this may be the way and posture he declared war on himself. After all, if the second is not turned on Dao valve, it is impossible for him to perceive him.

He is declaring war, just like some high knight-I am coming, you should prepare as much as possible, because no matter how much you prepare, you will die under my sword.

"Isn't there ... the possibility of compromise?" Charlotte couldn't help turning back.

She knows very little about the existence of Serel, and basically understands that it is a certain evil spirit that is very hostile to Loren, who once killed the Black Duke.

With a sigh, Loren shook his head: "Never die."

The Countess of the Red Blood Castle frowned.

"What is his purpose?" Dalton Kant asked coldly: "Is it still the same as in the past, should I grab the two holy grails?"

Loren nodded slightly.

"And now one of the Holy Grails is on you, and the other is where you know, then ..." The self-talking Dalton's voice came to an abrupt end:

"We must stop him."

The dark-haired wizard nodded solemnly: "We must stop him."

The position of the second holy grail is a secret that only Loren himself knows-this secret not only can he tell anyone, he can not even have any "impulse" to remember ... he didn't understand it in the past, but now he finally understands Why did the "last wizard" warn himself so much.

Because the void reaction itself is the "radiation" of a certain conscious message and emotional change, both your own emotions and changes in thoughts in your mind will act on your own void response.

Just after the second valve was opened, Loren could "read" the other person's emotional changes from the person's void response, whether they were lying; then instead of "Black Cross" Serel, I might be able to "read" "More things.

Maybe it was just a flashback, a clip in his mind, and he could perceive critical intelligence.

"Then ... how will he attack?"

Lucien cares most about this: "When is it specific?"

Loren still smiled bitterly.

"Anytime." The dark-haired wizard whispered: "Any time, any place, any way ... For Serel, there are no pieces in the world that are not used by him; in a sense he is away from this. The world is really only the last step. "

"Okay, it's almost my turn?"

Pushing away Lusien beside him, Isaac squeezed into front of Loren, his eyes glaring round: "Tell me, you opened the second valve, right?"

"Uh ... yes."

"Sure enough! When Lusien described it, I knew I was right!" Isaac smiled smugly, then stared anxiously at the dark-haired wizard:

"So ... what is it like--whether your present existence is‘ physical ’or‘ spiritual ’, do you no longer need to use runes to use the power of the void ?!”

"Uh, this ..."

"Ask one by one!" The little wizard on the side stood angrily, staring at Isaac: "Lorren hasn't fully recovered now, how do you want him to answer you like this!"

"I ... you ... fill your head ... okay."

With a long sigh and a somewhat discouraged expression, Isaac took a few deep breaths and solemnly looked at Loren with his eyes: "A question-what is the so-called 'wisdom' of the second valve? "

"This ... it's difficult to express clearly in two words."

Loren whispered: "My suggestion is that if one day, you also find a chance to open the second valve ... you'd better be more cautious; because once this step is taken, there is no way to look back . "

"I can't look back ... what do you mean?" Isaac couldn't help but ask.

"In simple terms, you have to make a choice-this decision will cause a part of you to disappear completely, and it will never be possible to recover."

"Instead, you will become another level of existence; rather than evolution, it is more of a transformation, and in terms of the results I have seen, the cost may be much more than the cost. "

"Ok……"

Isaac narrowed his eyes and fell into a state of contemplation.

"Okay, I'll be as cautious as possible at that time-it's a big deal to wait until I die, and then make a decision; I know there are many ways to extend the life of the Freswick School. "

"As for the other ... I will wait until the time to figure it out myself. It would be boring if this kind of thing is fully understood; knowledge is to retain a little mystery in order to make people want to explore!"

Loren nodded.

As for whether Isaac can do this, it is completely beyond the scope of the two people's consideration-with his talents and the inheritance of the knowledge from the Dragon King Tower, it is really strange to open the second valve.

Just when Isaac wanted to ask something else ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ A flag-bearing officer opened the curtain of the camp and stood outside the door, paying tribute in the direction of the dark-haired wizard:

"At the order of His Royal Highness Brandon de Salion, Prince of Sacran East, if the Duke and Lord Lord of the Red Blood Fort have no special reason, please move to the conference hall and discuss with your Highness about the rescue of the imperial capital!

Although the official of the flag used a respectful tone, his expression and attitude were very tough, and he could not refute it at all.

"right now?"

"Now." The flag officer said solemnly: "His Highness Brandon's original words are-if Duke Byrne agrees, a war meeting will be held immediately."

In the morning, the fanfare trumpeted in the military camp, and in the evening began to plan what to do?

The dark-haired wizard sighed, and looked at Charlotte with a slight cheek, and stood up silently:

"Please tell your Highness Brandon that the meeting can begin!"
